      It’s a long video posted by YouTube creator HBomberguy regarding plagiarism on YouTube. If you watch/listen to video essays on YouTube it’s worth a play.

      TL;DW- it’s a longstanding issue of ripping practically verbatim sections of other people’s work without proper sourcing. There were a few larger named channels put forth as evidence. I know at least one of the plagarist has since turned off comments on his videos.

      From looking, his recent video is retreading drama that had happened over the last several months but OP is claiming bald man did all the work.

      I dunno about the other 2, but the iilluminautii segment in the video has been done dozens of times at this point and involved half a dozen creators that were direct associates of her bringing her down. But, nah, all bald man.

      edit: I forgot but she also partially took herself down by posting one of her editors notes containing suicidal ideation because of her in her video defending herself against that editor…

        If it started with him, then I guess the dominoes make sense - it wouldn’t be a claim that he did all the work, just set it in motion.

        I have no idea though, I am OOTL also and haven’t looked at the video yet.

          Nah, I can absolutely confirm in at least one of those cases he is several months behind the curve and just tacking it on to pad video length.

              Well yeah, hbomb is very well known for making short videos, so clearly he’s just trying to pad his runtime for views and that sweet, sweet ad revenue he’s making from these drama videos.

            Should note that right at the beginning he jokes about how long it took them to get this video out (notes the writers’ strike as “ongoing”).

            Also, I knew none of this stuff. His long-form video essays are always a great watch because they aren’t shot out 5m after something happens and consist of mostly opinions.
